"Ideal holiday read, especially for Greece.…"

14-Mar-2017

The author's love for, and knowledge of, Greece and its people shines throughout this book. If you've read her novels you'll know what to expect, if not, this taster of short stories will whet your appetite for them. As I read I was transported by her clear and evocative descriptions to mainland Greece, Crete and Cyprus. I felt I was in, or outside, the cafes, under the plane trees, and in busy Athenian streets. I basked in the heat, smelt the wild thyme, but above all I shared the hopes and anxieties of contemporary Greeks most of all.
